Sir,
I am thankful to the officials concerned regarding Cashles treatment. In this connection i beg to state the following few lines for your kind information and help.
I took treatment for acute urinary desease operation in a Hospital I spent about Rs 70000/ but from cashless scheme from United Insurance I received Rs 42000 / only. I am a retired person from Tamilnadu Government. Kindly do needful in future.Thanking you Sir/Madam.

SIR,
IT IS TRUE THAT CGHS DISPENSARY IS ESTABLISHED IN VISAKHAPATNAM, AP THE BUILDING IS LOCATED IN THE PREMISES OF MENTAL HEALTH CARE HOSPITAL, LEASED OUT BY THE GOAP. TH BUILDING CONSISTING OF TWO TRANSIT SHEDS-WIDE APART FROM EACH OTHER -FOR DOCTORS AND STAFF IS READY WITH ALL BASIC NECESSITIES AND PARTITIONS. IT IS STANDING MONUMENT FROM 15TH AUGUST, 2016.,NO DOCTORS / STAFF POSTED SO FAR. THE AD, CGHS, HYDERABAD HAS REPLIED TO MY GRIEVANCE THAT A LIST OF NAMES OF DOCTORS & STAFF WAS SUBMITTED TO CGHS DIRECTORATE AT DELHI AND TO THE MINISTRY. BUT IT IS NOT SO FAR APPROVED. IT HAS GIVEN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT ANOTHER SHED COVERING BOTH THE STANDING OBLONG SHEDS. IT IS ALSO COMPLETED EXCEPT FOR FLOORING AND PAINTING, & IS LIKELY TO BE COMPLETED BY THIS WEEK END. THUS THOUGH THE BUILDING IS READY, ITS FACILITIES COULD NOT BE UTILIZED DUE TO (1) LACK OF BUDGET SANCTION (2) POSTING OF DOCTORS /PARA MEDICAL STAFF/OTHER STAFF, FRIDGE AND OTHER MEDICAL STUFF. AS THE AD,CGHS, HYDERABAD IS NOT HAVING ANY POWERS ON THESE MATTERS (1) &(2), HE APPEARS TO BE HELPLESS AND HE IS DISPOSING OF THE GRIEVANCE TO THE BEST OF HIS KNOWLEDGE. DELEGATING ALL OTHER POWERS MINUS PLACING (1) FUNDS (2) DOCTORS (3) INAUGURATION AND OTHER PARAPHERNALIA (4) MEDICAL STORES SUPPLY (5) CGHS MATERIAL LOADED COMPUTERS DULY INTERCONNECTED AND FOR INTERNET CONNECTION (6) SUPPLY OF TELEPHONES AND DEPOSIT WITH BSNL FOR GIVING DEDICATED OPTIC FIBER GLASS CABLE ETC.., WOULD BE OF NO USE. THE PENSIONERS LIVING IN VISAKHAPATNAM /DISTRICT AND OTHER TWO ADJACENT DISTRICTS ARE MORE OR LESS 75 YEARS AND ABOVE AND SOME WITH ‘DISABLED CHILDREN’ COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON THEM ARE EAGERLY AWAITING TO USE THE FACILITY AND ARE PLEADING WITH THE LOCAL MPS AND MLAs BUT TO NO USE.
I REQUESTED THE AD/CGHS/HYDERABAD, CGHS, DELHI AND THE MINISTRY TO START THE EXERCISE OF EMPANELING THE PRIVATE CORPORATE MULTI SPECIALTY HOSPITALS, HAVING ALL FACILITIES (a TO z) SO THAT BY THE TIME THE CGHS DISPENSARY STARTS FUNCTIONING, WHICH COULD GIVE OUTDOOR TREATMENT/ /SUPPLY OF MEDICINES, INDOOR TREATMENT FACILITY WOLD ALSO COME INTO EXISTENCE. BUT THERE IS NO RESPONSE SO FAR.

THE LIST OF MODERNIZATION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND CONFINED TO ONLY BANGALORE AND DELHI. MANY OF THEM ARE ADMINISTRATIVE STEPS TAKEN TO EASE THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CGHS OF SOME POCKETS BUT NOT ON ALL INDIA BASIS AND ARE PATIENT BENT OR CONVENIENCE. THE ARE MOSTLY ORNAMENTAL AND FOR THE SAKE OF PUBLICITY.
WHAT IS THE USE OF ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS WHEN THE EXISTING CGHS WELLNESS CENTERS ARE NOT INAUGURATED NOR FUNDS SANCTIONED. FOR EXAMPLE ALL THE PENSIONERS IN AP (WITH FA FEW EXCEPTIONS) ARE HAVING PLASTIC CARDS BUT WHAT IS THE USE OF THEM? THERE IS NO CGHS DISPENSARY / HOSPITAL AND EVEN FOR A MINOR AILMENT PENSIONERS IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR AGE AND OTHER PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES HAVE TO TRAVEL 750 KMS -TO HYDERABAD TO GET TREATMENT. IS IT PRACTICABLE AND IS OF ANY USE.? IT IS USEFUL FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSE AND STANDS AS A TRUMP CARD FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW.

THERE ARE TWO WELL EQUIPPED CANCER HOSPITALS AND RESEARCH CENTERS WITH FULLY QUALIFIED DOCTORS WITH FOREIGN DEGREES IN ONCOLOGY BUT WHAT IS THE USE SIR, THEY ARE NOT RECOGNIZED FOR CENTRAL PENSIONERS AND ARE NOT ALLOWED AT LEAST TO GET TREATMENT ON CGHS RATS. THEY HAVE TO SHELL DOWN FULL PAYMENT ON PAR WITH PRIVATE PERSONS.

I THEREFORE, REQUEST YOU TO BE KIND ENOUGH TO TAKE UP THESE MATTERS AND PRESSURIZE THE HEALTH MINISTRY TO SANCTION THESE FACILITIES ALSO AT THE EARLIEST.I FEEL THE FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE INAUGURATION OF THE BUILDING.
WITH BEST REGARDS.
